I use this site to store for material used every year, and to make resources accessible to any other linguistics teachers who might want to use them.

If you are a UCLA student taking my Linguistics 20, please go to the page for this course on the MyUCLA site.  It will have the syllabus and full set of assignments and readings.

Textbook

In my course I use a self-written text, entitled Introductory Linguistics.  It is copyrighted, but linguistics teachers at other universities are welcome to use it.  Please send me an email if you do this.
